The Whispering Muse The most spellbinding gothic novel of the year, packed with passion and suspense

When Jenny starts her new job at the Mercury Theatre in London's West End, she has no idea of the misfortunes that are about to happen. And all that supposedly because of a cursed watch. But then again, curses aren't real are they? The perfect book for everyone who loves victorian gothic horror and the theatre, mixed with a touch of greek mythology!

The vibes of this book are immaculate. It's moody, it's eerie, it's strange. Jenny gets hired as the personal dresser of the rising star of the Mercury Theatre - Lilith Erikson. She quickly discovers that nothing about the leading lady is as it seems. As the theater production puts on plays like Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, Faust and more, secrets get revealed and doom lurks beneath the floorboards. The most interesting thing in this story to me was Lilith though. Her relationship with Jenny, her motives, her backstory... She was a character that I truly couldn't get enough of.

A tragic and bloody portrayal of obsession and superstition. The occult elements of this story are subtle enough to suspend disbelief and keep you wondering about what’s really going on...

A cursed watch that will make all the dreams of its owner come true, at the cost of everyone surrounding them. Greedy brothers, obsessed actors, mysterious deaths and sinister superstitions all get their place in the spotlight on the stage of a haunting gothic theatre. A dark tale of obsession, passion and the price of fame.
